[GAP] Contribution page

[Javier Miranda]

Alan,

   I am in charge of coordinating the contents of the contribution
section. Referring to the preferred format I think that MS Word
and PDF are both valid. In my opinion the MS Word (or even better
the MS PowerPoint format) has one importante advantage: the course
can be translated to other languages by other GAP members!

   In addition, for your information, referring to the final place
of your contributions there are two alternatives:
   1) To put them in some webpage under your control
   2) To send me the files to put them in the GAP Contributions Page

In the first case you just need to send me the link to the page.
In the second case, because of copyright matters, you need to sign
a document with AdaCore.

Thank you for your contribution!
